Do they really think other people have to incorporate their (often silly) requests, making the maintainers themself not responsible for their requested changes?

I've spend time to write these patches and even have written documentation I don't need myself. The uncooperative people which are blocking almost everthing and which do ignore bugs have become these people which are calling themself Linux kernel maintainers which do expect other people have to play remote keyboard and have to take responsibility for changes maintainers don't want to be responsible for themself. > > So the above quoted sentence is just another "marketing" verbiage, at least in my point of view. > > Alexander Holler > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
